Commuters can reach either of the Twin Cities in 25 minutes

One of the main reasons people move here is because of the commute to the Twin Cities. “It’s a bedroom community with good freeway access, which is one of the draws,” says Realtor Laura Heppner with Keller Williams Classic Realty, who has worked in the area for almost 15 years. Minnesota County Highway goes through Spring Lake Park and intersects with State Highway 65, and leads about 15 miles to downtown Minneapolis. Downtown Saint Paul is also about 15 miles away. The commute can take up to 25 minutes during rush hour. Public transportation is also available, with Metro Transit buses stopping in the area.

While many residents work in the Twin Cities, Heppner says, “The hospital there, Mercy, has a good reputation and provides a lot of jobs.” Mercy Hospital – Unity Campus is technically in Fridley but is within walking distance of some homes in Spring Lake Park.

Local restaurants and popular stores along the highway

There are a handful of restaurants in the area, ranging from national chains to locally owned breweries. Options include:

  • Frida’s Little Mexican Restaurant, which serves traditional Mexican dishes
  • Torg Brewery, a craft brewery with a rotating selection of beers
  • Bizzee Bee’s Cafe & Pies, which makes fresh pies every day
Major retailers at Northtown Mall and grocery options like Hy-Vee can be found along the intersection of highways 10 and 65. You can also find more niche shops like Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop, which sells sweet treats and glass-bottled sodas. “The location is nice because there’s a lot of good shopping,” Heppner says.
